This sophisticated feature can significantly reduce operating costs by reducing the power requirements of the switch and any associated cooling RevZZEx510 S e r i e sIncluding x510, x510DP and x510L Series Switches EPSR Master Ethernet Ring Protection Active Fiber Monitoring of fiber data and stacking links OpenFlow for SDN VLAN Mirroring (RSPAN) VLAN ACLs Border Gateway Protocol (BGP4) Upstream Forwarding Only (UFO) VLAN TranslationSwitches | Product Informationx510 Series | Stackable Gigabit Layer 3 SwitchesKey FeaturesAllied Telesis Autonomous Management FrameworkTM (AMF) AMF is a sophisticated suite of management tools that provide a simplified approach to network management.

5 Powerful features like centralized management, auto-backup, auto-upgrade, auto-provisioning and auto-recovery enable plug-and-play networking and zero-touch management. Any x510 Series switch can operate as the AMF network master, storing firmware and configuration backups for other network nodes. The AMF master enables auto-provisioning and auto-upgrade by providing appropriate files to new network members. New network devices can be pre-provisioned making installation easy because no on-site configuration is required. AMF secure mode encrypts all AMF traffic, provides unit and user authorization, and monitors network access to greatly enhance network security. AMF Guestnode allows Allied Telesis wireless access points and further switching products, as well as third party devices such as IP phones and security cameras, to be part of an AMF Chassis Stacking (VCStackTM ) Create a VCStack of up to four units with 40 Gbps of stacking bandwidth to each unit.

6 Stacking links are connected in a ring so each device has dual connections to further improve resiliency. VCStack provides a highly available system where network resources are spread out across stacked units, reducing the impact if one of the units fails. Aggregating switch ports on different units across the stack provides excellent network Stacking Long-distance stacking allows a VCStack to be created over longer distances, perfect for a distributed network Protection Switched Ring (EPSRingTM) EPSRing and 10 Gigabit Ethernet allow several x510 switches to form high-speed protected rings capable of recovery within as little as 50ms. This feature is perfect for high performance and high availability in enterprise networks. x510 Series switches can act as the EPSR Master. Super-Loop Protection (SLP) enables a link between two EPSR nodes to be in separate EPSR domains, improving redundancy and network fault Ethernet Ring Protection provides standards-based high-speed ring protection, that can be deployed stand-alone, or interoperate with Allied Telesis EPSR.

7 Ethernet Connectivity Fault Monitoring (CFM) proactively monitors links and VLANs, and provides alerts when a fault is Quality of Service (QoS) Comprehensive low-latency wire speed QoS provides flow-based traffic management with full classification, prioritization, traffic shaping and min/max bandwidth profiles. Boosted network performance and guaranteed delivery of business-critical Ethernet services and applications are provided. Time-critical services such as voice and video take precedence over non-essential services such as file downloads, maintaining responsiveness of Enterprise over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) With PoE, a separate power connection to media endpoints such as IP phones and wireless access points is not necessary. PoE+ reduces costs and provides even greater flexibility, providing the capability to connect devices requiring more power (up to 30 Watts) such as pan, tilt and zoom security cameras.

8 High Reliability The x510 Series switches feature front to back cooling and dual power supply units (PSUs). The x510DP features dual hot-swappable load sharing power supplies for maximum uptime, and the option of either front-to-back or back-to-front cooling. This makes it ideal for use as a top-of-rack data center VLAN Voice VLAN automatically separates voice and data traffic into two different VLANs. This automatic separation places delay-sensitive traffic into a voice- dedicated VLAN, which simplifies QoS Shortest Path First (OSPFv3) OSPF is a scalable and adaptive routing protocol for IP networks. The addition of OSPFv3 adds support for IPv6 and further strengthens the Allied Telesis focus on next generation sFlow is an industry-standard technology for monitoring high-speed switched networks. It provides complete visibility into network use, enabling performance optimization, usage accounting/billing, and defense against security threats.

9 Sampled packets sent to a collector (up to 5 collectors can be configured) ensure it always has a real-time view of network Mirroring (RSPAN) VLAN mirroring allows traffic from a port on a remote switch to be analysed locally. Traffic being transmitted or received on the port is duplicated and sent across the network on a special VLANO ptical DDM Most modern optical SFP/SFP+/XFP transceivers support Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM) functions according to the specification SFF-8472. This enables real time monitoring of the various parameters of the transceiver, such as optical output power, temperature, laser bias current and transceiver supply voltage. Easy access to this information simplifies diagnosing problems with optical modules and fiber Fiber Monitoring Active Fiber Monitoring prevents eavesdropping on fiber communications by monitoring received optical power. If an intrusion is detected, the link can be automatically shut down, or an operator alert can be sent.

10 Active Fiber Monitoring is supported on fiber data and fiber stacking Authentication options on the x510 Series also include alternatives to IEEE port-based authentication, such as web authentication, to enable guest access and MAC authentication for endpoints that do not have an IEEE supplicant. All three authentication methods IEEE , MAC-based and Web-based can be enabled simultaneously on the same port for + Command Authorization TACACS+ Command Authorization offers centralized control over which commands may be issued by each specific AlliedWare Plus device user. It complements authentication and accounting services for a complete AAA Software License By default, the x510 Series offers a comprehensive Layer 2 and basic Layer 3 feature set that includes static routing and IPv6 management features. The feature set can easily be elevated to full Layer 3 by applying the premium software license. This adds dynamic routing protocols and Layer 3 multicasting Defined Networking (SDN) OpenFlow is a key technology that enables the use of SDN to build smart applications that unlock value and reduce Access Control List (ACLs) ACLs simplify access and traffic control across entire segments of the network.
